Here it is twelve days since I blogged. I finished thirty days of blogging and loved it so much that I wonder why I wasn't keeping up with it. I don't know. Maybe it was because my birthday and Mother's day came during those twelve days and I don't really like either one of them. I know, sacrilegious huh! I have a great son who I face timed with on Mother's Day. And I like myself mostly, so it isn't that I don't like my birthday. It's just that we're supposed to celebrate the day somehow. Like on my FB page, I got almost 200 Happy BD likes and most of them said "enjoy the day". I loved them, I really felt wrapped in a nice, warm loving blanket. But what does that "enjoy your day" mean? Take myself out to eat? Watch a movie, read a book, buy myself flowers...? Before Covid we'd go out to eat and that was always fun. Asiana, the Chinese buffet in Asheville always gave a free meal on our birthdays. We love that place, so much to choose from, so that was where we'd go. But the last two years no buffets. Even though I'm fully vaccinated I still don't feel completely safe eating inside a restaurant. Thank goodness for takeout's. I did get my Culver's fix though. Butter burgers, French fries and onion rings. Yum.
A friend gave me a gift card to Amazon that I always use for books on my kindle. That is my favorite gift. I'm not a buying flowers type of person though. They do smell pretty, that's for sure.
I use my Barnes and Noble credit card to buy take out food. When I reach a certain number of points I get a Barnes and Noble gift card for $25. I have 2 of them so it's been fun to look through their web site. I'm thinking of getting a second pack of Radleigh Valentine's Angel Wisdom Tarot cards for more learning and practicing. I love these cards. Not only are the images beautiful but they are so easy to shuffle.
Barnes and Noble have a lot of art books and blank journals. I could buy these online but I love browsing in the store. Actually I need to get rid of books. The print is getting too small to read and I'm thinking of donating a lot of them. So why go to a book store and buy more? Hmm.. Large Print books are so expensive though. I'm glad for my kindle.
So maybe I won't want twelve days to write another blog. Until the next one...
